Mario is a starting character in Mushroom Kingdom Showdown and its sequel. He's an all-around character and one of the first characters to be created for the game, being created in the Mario Smash Bros stages.
Appearance[]
Mario has the same appearance as he does in the modern Mario games. He wears a red cap with a red "M" on it, a red shirt followed by blue overalls with golden buttons, white gloves, a black moustache, blue eyes and brown boots. His sprites were created by Gregarlink10 and his selection and title screen artwork is from Mario Party Advance.
Mario, like all characters, has four extra alternate costumes. His first one supports a yellow hat and shirt and purple overalls, which is similar to the outfit Wario wears. His second one supports a white hat and shirt with red overalls, which represents Fire Mario, the form Mario takes upon touching a fire flower. His third one turns his clothes to an american patriotic look, based on Mario's NES Golf appearance. His final costume supports a cyan hat and shirt with red overalls, which represents Ice Mario, the form Mario takes upon using an ice flower in the New Super Mario Bros series. This alternate costume also changes his fireballs to become blue with an icy noise when using them.
Moveset[]
Attributes[]
Mario ranks 16th in the tier list in the B tier, a minor drop from the previous tier list at 13th. As to be expected, Mario is a well balanced character with good attacks and mobility. He's got some good standard attacks, pretty fast speed, and a decent projectile, despite its lag at the beginning. However, he has a technique called Firewalling in which it will bounce off of a wall and support his comboing. He also can deal some pretty good damage with his specials, as well. However, Mario suffers from the lag in most of his special attacks (most notably his Mario Tornado and Fireball). While he has a decent combo game, that's only if he's on a stage with a wall. He also feels a little too balanced when compared to the other characters. But regardless, Mario is still a good beginners choice and with the right player he can put up quite a good fight.
Advanced Techniques[]
When Mario launches a fireball against a wall, it will bounce off it. When used in the air it'll improves Mario's combo game. This also works with Dr. Mario. This technique is called Firewalling.
